Summary of the contracting process

The National Nuclear Laboratory Limited is seeking suppliers for the provision of lead glass windows, a project categorised under goods related to nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological protection equipment. The contract, valued at £3,326,768, is located within the UK, specifically aimed for delivery to the North West region. The current procurement stage is at the award level, with the contract signed on 27th July 2021. This procurement was initiated using a limited method, which was justified due to the highly specialised nature of the windows being previously sourced from the same supplier, Saint-Gobain Sovis, without competitive bids.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture of specialised safety equipment, particularly those focusing on radiological protection. Companies with expertise in producing lead glass or similar protective materials, especially those capable of operating within stringent regulatory frameworks, would be well positioned to participate in the procurement process. The unique nature of this contract may also attract SMEs looking to establish or strengthen their presence within the nuclear sector.
